Swank Diet vs Higher Fat Diets
Posted: Thu Aug 06, 2020 12:58 am
I am so confused. Just let me start with that
A couple of years ago I found info on the Swank diet. My husband had run into a person who had MS for many years and had followed Swank with no progression of the disease. Around this time I had read of gluten/dairy-free and I started doing that. One of the dietary sites I follow is big on gluten-free, whole foods. They stress the brain needs fat to be healthy since its made up of a lot of fat. I hope I'm saying this right.
So for the last couple of years I have been doing no gluten, no dairy except butter, lots of "good" fats. I feel well but am concerned I am screwing my body up by not eating low fat, the Swank way. It seems these dietary approaches are direct opposites.
Anyone out there do Swank for years with no progression of the disease? Any suggestions on which way to go?? I'd appreciate any opinions! Thanks!
